Give Terriers a Chance

Like a dog
returning to a favorite bone, I can't stop singing the praises of FX's Terriers
(Wednesdays at 10/9c), which has flown dangerously under the radar since
premiering with little fanfare right after Labor Day. It's an easier series to
love than it is to pigeonhole, which (along with a vague and misleading title)
may explain why it has struggled to find a following beyond a passionate few.
In a fall season that has been remarkable for so much unremarkable formula
blandness at the network level, Terriers is the rare show whose endearingly
messy and flawed characters get under your skin and stay there.
